Recovery Meditations

Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you.

Many people are negatively impacted by accusation and condemnation.

Have you ever been told that you look like your mother, father, sister, brother or another family member?

Have you ever excitedly prepared a place for someone you love to come and stay with you?

Have you ever had to leave loved ones who were an important part of your daily life and go to a place where you knew physical contact with them would not be possible?

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh the joys of those who take refuge in him!

Some of us carry the darkness of regret for promises that have been broken, both promises made to us, and promises made by us.

Life with God in recovery means that we bring all of our situations before God, particularly when we feel like running away.

In steps one, two and three, we admitted that we were powerless over our dependencies and our lives were unmanageable; we came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity and, we made a decision to turn our will and our life over to the care of God as we understood Him.

What do people in recovery do when they encounter dark and difficult times?

God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure.

This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
